Overview of Dr. Gelfand

I conduct clinical research in pediatric headache. My particular interests are in identifying effective therapies for pediatric migraine treatment using innovative study methodologies and developing strategies to predict which migraine preventive will work for an individual child (i.e. "personalized medicine") so children do not suffer through multiple failed "trial-and-error" medication trials.
